Tekin RS Pro Black Edition ESC & Spec-R BL motors

Tekin have introduced their new RS Pro Black Edition brushless speed controller and Spec-R motors. Starting with the ESC, the RS Pro Black Edition was developed with ultra low internal resistance in mind to boost the performance of 1S and 2S-powered stock motors. This was achieved by utilising both hardware and software advances in combination with the Ultra Low Resistance ULR circuit design and ULR flex wires. The controller measures 24.5x33x17.25mm, it weighs in at 35g and it has no motor limit, however Tekin recommends their RSX controller for all modified applications as these setups tend to run at higher temperatures and so the billet housing and fan shroud on the RSX will provide more sufficient cooling.

JConcepts 1/8th & 1/10th tyre balancer

Coming from JConcepts is their new tyre balancer suitable for 1/8th and 1/10th scale tyre and wheel combinations. The collapsible design rests in a lay-down configuration but pivots to a 90 degree stance and locks when in usable condition. The centre point of any balancer are the bearings, the free spinning action rests inside the hub design. The interchangeable thumb nuts for 1/10th and 1/8th wheel versatility are located on the main axle which can be moved from its home base position to its critical balancing position with ease. The upright is built in aluminium material, anodised blue, etched with instructions and chamfered for that extra lustrous look. The base of the item is built to protect, position and maintain a small footprint at all times. The base has four stand-off legs to hold a steady structure while a thumb screw secures the upright in either the up or down position. The all-aluminium and steel design comes set in a storage box for protection and travel convenience.
